Sort Tracks dialog

The Track view Tracks > Sort Tracks command opens the Sort Tracks dialog box. This command lets you arrange tracks in order according to any of several criteria. You can sort in ascending or descending order.

There are several ways you can change the order of tracks in the Track view:

Drag a track to a new position in the Track view (see To drag a track to a new position).

Insert new, blank tracks between existing tracks (see To insert a single track).

Use the Tracks > Sort Tracks command to rearrange the tracks in order based on the track name, status, or other setting.

The Sort Tracks dialog box has the following fields:

Sort by

This field lets you choose what characteristic of the tracks you want to use to sort them by. Choose from these options:

Name. Choosing this option causes Music Creator to sort the tracks in alphabetical order, either A to Z, or Z to A, depending on whether you choose Ascending or Descending in the Order field.

Muted. Choosing this option causes Music Creator to put the muted tracks either first or last, depending on whether you choose Ascending or Descending in the Order field.

Archived. Choosing this option causes Music Creator to put the archived tracks either first or last, depending on whether you choose Ascending or Descending in the Order field.

Selected. Choosing this option causes Music Creator to put the selected tracks either first or last, depending on whether you choose Ascending or Descending in the Order field.

Size. Choosing this option causes Music Creator to put the biggest tracks (tracks that contain the most events) either first or last, depending on whether you choose Ascending or Descending in the Order field.

Output. Choosing this option causes Music Creator sort the tracks by output.

Channel. Choosing this option causes Music Creator to sort the tracks by their MIDI channels, in either Ascending or Descending order.

Order

This field determines whether Music Creator sorts the tracks by putting the tracks with higher numbered characteristics at the top or bottom of the Track window.
